North Korea wanted to buy China's J-10CE fighter jet but it was rejected. Why didn't China sell it to North Korea?
Not wanting to sell, not wanting to sell!
Since North Korea's nuclear test in 2006, the Security Council has passed a clear resolution that not only does it not allow the sale of fighter aircraft, tanks and heavy weapons, even related parts and technology.
If we are aware of the wrongdoing, it is to hit our face, then what will be said internationally? other countries are watching, if the major countries do not abide by the rules, then the international order will not be messy?
Some might say, “We are brothers with North Korea, what is the rule,” but it is because we are brothers that we can’t burn people on fire, let’s not let ourselves fall into the reputation of “violating international rules,” which is not good for anyone.
Moreover, the situation in the Northeast Asian border, it was like a barrel of gunpowder, it exploded at a moment, the military forces on both sides of the Korean Peninsula were really tense, on the side of South Korea there was the U.S. backbone, the F-16 and F-15K a lot, and the F-35 hidden fighter aircraft; Japan is also secretly strengthening the military force.
If China sells the J-10CE to North Korea at this time, will South Korea and Japan let it go? You will definitely have to cry and ask the United States to buy more advanced weapons, and then the arms race will not stop.
Everyone was struggling to maintain peace and stability on the peninsula, such a joke, the previous efforts were wasted, or it would cause conflict, and the people on both sides would suffer.
This is not what China wants to see. We have always advocated using dialogue to solve problems and cannot do anything to add fuel to the fire.
Looking back at Pakistan, the situation is completely different. India has been expanding its armaments over the years and buying many advanced fighter jets. Pakistan's air power simply cannot keep up.
At this time, China sold the 10 CE to Barthes, is to help maintain the military balance of South Asia, not to make India a unique family, instead can reduce the risk of conflict.
Speaking of the situation of North Korea itself, even if we do not care about the rules, no matter the situation, we really want to sell, North Korea is not able to accept. first of all, the money, the 10 CE one will have more than $ 40 million to one billion, buy dozens of composition, that is, billions of billions of expenses.
But North Korea's defense budget for 2019 is only US$4 billion. This amount of money not only needs to support a million troops, but also carries out nuclear projects and missile research and development. How can there be spare money to buy advanced fighter jets? Even if China is willing to sell it cheaply, subsequent maintenance, maintenance, and parts replacement will be bottomless, and North Korea simply cannot withstand this economic pressure.
China's arms sales have always been responsible. We cannot sell weapons to countries that have no money to maintain them, and put a heavy burden on others. This is not helping brothers, but cheating them.
Moreover, the technology and personnel issues, North Korea now fly or the Soviet period of the MiG-21 and MiG-23, are old antiques five or sixty years ago, the J-10CE is the third generation of semi-combat aircraft, inside the radar system, aerospace equipment is all high-tech, and the old MiG is not the same thing.
Pilots have to be retrained for several years before they can get started, and there are professional and technical personnel for ground maintenance. North Korea does not have such a talent pool at all. Even if the fighter plane is sent over, it can only be parked at the airport as a decoration, and it won't play any role.
There are several hundred F-16s in South Korea, and there are electronic warfare forces, which can not change the air situation at all by relying on a few J-10CEs, is this not the same as throwing money in vain?
More importantly, North Korea's military strategy was not on the air force, they spent most of their resources on nuclear weapons and missiles, relying on land-based missile forces to cope with security threats, and the air force is only responsible for daily patrol, and it is not necessary to use such advanced equipment.
Instead of spending a lot of money to buy fighter jets that you can't use, it is more practical to spend money on people's livelihood to let the people live a good life.
There is another secret that can't be told-technical confidentiality. The J-10CE contains China's core aviation technologies for decades. These are the painstaking efforts of scientific researchers. If it is sold to North Korea, if the technology is leaked out and researched by other countries, China's subsequent fighter research and development will be greatly affected.
North Korea is constantly watched by Western countries, intelligence infiltration is very strong, the risk of technological secrecy is really too high, and Pakistan has cooperated with China for decades, from the Qingdao fighter jets to the current J-10CE, there is a mature technical secrecy system, there is no need to worry about this issue.
Some may think that the DPRK is a military alliance, and the sale of weapons is not natural? but do not forget that China's support for North Korea has been concentrated in the field of people's livelihoods, the real help of grain and oil has never been interrupted, even if China's own economic difficulties have not stopped, this is true brotherhood, not the sale of weapons to reflect friendship.
And now North Korea to buy weapons is not only China an option, they have always had military cooperation with Russia, the technology system is more matched, can completely go to Russia to negotiate, China does not need to compare this bustle.
In the final analysis, not selling J-10CE to North Korea just reflects China's responsibility and foresight. We should not only abide by international rules, but also maintain regional peace, consider the actual situation of fraternal countries, and protect our core technologies.
This is not indifference, it is a thoughtful choice, China's friendship with North Korea has never been demonstrated by advanced weapons, and those silent people's livelihoods and international voices for North Korea are truly urgent support.
If the situation on the Korean Peninsula later eased, the UN sanctions were lifted, the North Korean economy was well, and the technicians followed, if there was a need, China would probably consider.
But now, at this juncture, it is right not to sell. It not only adheres to the principle, but also takes the overall situation into consideration, and also protects brotherly countries from confusion. This is the responsibility of a big country.
